Pick up the plans from Jay, cut out the stations in cardboard, and use Platt Monfort's Geodesic Aerolite technique.

See Bill Price's website:

: everybody around here are saying such good things about the OI,
: & since I am looking for a design to be built as a folder sof, I thought
: about the OI, & I looked for some opinions.

: Since the man don't have a web page (Jay Babina)I couldn't gather info about
: this creation of his (OI).

: I already thought long ago to add few "chines" to a SOF to make it
: multi-chined
: boat, but I think it would add (a little) to the weight, so I'd rather stay
: with hard chined SOF.

: I also thought about a way to lower the seat of a SOF boat, & the idea I
: came up
: with is to switch to a S&G keel where the seat is (& build the rest of
: the boat SOF), so, if anybody is interested in this idea he can now have
: it - & let us know how it works.

: thx for the information,

: build less, paddle more,
